Can arrived for the AR. No change in POI and groups seem the same for the ammo I've been shooting. This thing should be fun.

Travis

Badphukingazz!!!!

You're on the trust!



Travis

Shhhhhhhh

That's dam cool!!

I'd get one if it weren't for all my felony convictions and my ties to known terrorist groups.

Buncha sticklers...



Travis

Very neat.

I love how the sound of the bullet impact is louder than the rifle going off!

Yeah. That's what I was thinking when I was shooting it yesterday.

But the coolest suppressed gun I've ever used is still the Ruger 77/44 with sub sonic ammo. Bad ass whisper quiet.

But this should be a nice compromise for what I do.


Travis

I've been thinking about a Silencerco Osprey, and affixing it to one of these:
http://www.gunblast.com/Taylors-Alaskan45.htm

Would be really fun for blowing away porcupines and such.

I think anything shooting a heavy sub-sonic bullet is about the coolest of the cool.

Next can is going to be for the 22LR.



Travis

Can't you just use that 30cal can on a 22?
I thought I read where you could.

Yes. But I want one for my 22/45 Pac-Lite. This can would mess with the balance a bit.


Travis

The thing about 22 LR is the ammo is ultra dirty, so a guy really wants to use a takedown can that can be easily cleaned out.

I don't believe in cleaning things.



Travis

Get the 22 can.

Shooting suppressed is seriously the most fun a guy can have with his clothes on. And a close runner up to another activity when done nude. Just be careful with hot brass.

deflave,

Is that a .30cal can?

don't ya wish ya would've gotten that thing years ago. That's my only regret about mine. And as nice as it is on the AR, it's even a touch nicer on the bolt rifles.

Yes sir.

I bought the 30 so I'd have more versatility.


Travis

I look forward to running it on a bolt gun. I know you've done a lot of damage with yours. Hoping to do the same.



Travis

Bet that was cool.
I love my 44mag lever gun but I'd never suppress it. Sure would like to shoot someone else's though.

They are scary quiet. Go buy one.



Travis

Cool beans Dave!

I don't want one to have and hold forever. Just want to shoot one:)

Hell, even if I did want one, at my age I'd probably be dead before they got around to sending me the stamp if I applied today. I've read of cases where guys waited well over a year.

I know I did. Lame.

I'll bring it down there so you can shoot a chuck with it...


Travis

You going to thread the 250?

I think I'm going to thread everything.


Travis

Suppressed 300 Blackout = Cool on the AR Platform.



Skip to 3:00 for sub-sonic demo.

What I did for four years in college...at least everything I could.

twofish,

I want to leave my AR as is, but do you know anything about the 6mm Whisper? I have a 6mm Hart laying in the garage and I wouldn't mind trying something more quieter on a bolt gun.



Travis

I do not have any personal experience with them but I would think they would be great in a bolt gun.

Lots of bullet choices, no recoil and super quiet.

The only real limiting factor may be effective range but you are gonna be limited there with any sub-sonic. May have to load down a bit to get the lighter bullets to sub levels but IDK.

I think it would be a cool set-up to have and a blast to shoot since you already have the barrel.

JBM shows marginal stability with a 105 Amax or a 105 Berger from an 8 twist at subsonic speeds.

If you were to drop down much in bullet weight to gain stability, you wouldn't be gaining much over a subsonic 223, which when run through JBM with a 70 grain Berger and an 8 twist shows great stability, though much less so with longer bullets. It appears the heavies designed to fit in AR mags will stabilize, at least according to this program.

If I was looking to throw a big subsonic bullet, I'd want to go a lot bigger than a 6mm. Otherwise I'd just run a 223 (or a 22 LR, for that matter) and be merry. Dump the 6mm barrel and find an 8 twist 30 cal....AAC makes ready to run 300 blackout barrels chambered and threaded for Remington 700s, sold through Midway.

Linky Poo

That makes sense PG. Moot point anyway because my donor is a .473. I guess I'm just thinking out loud.

Off to the range with the new toy. 69gr. Sierras are shooting well so far.



Travis

I had my daughter record me from about 20yds away because I wanted an idea of what a dog would hear as I shot his friend. Really takes the sound out of a 16" AR.

69's are under MOA to the 200. I'm done. Loading up a pile of them.




Travis

Try loading up some 69 grain sub-sonic rounds over Trail Boss or Blue Dot and see how they do!

Put the straight 6X on her. More better. It's stayin'.



Travis

That's a good idea...



Travis

Lately I've been getting my jollys launching subsonic 162 grain Amax's from a 7mm-08 Ackley, unfortunately sans can for now.

Hmmm....



Travis

Get a .308 chambered barrel, load 208s to 240s for quiet, and slay stuff.

For realz?



Travis

Fo' realz and fo' tru...

Travis,

You made mention of a 44 you'd shot & liked. Sounds appealing for late night TX piggies.

Details on the canned 44 if ya will?


DMc

I did not own it. It was my buddy's.

He had it built by this guy:

http://www.srtarms.com/

Wicked dude. Absolutely wicked. Load them to 950ish and it makes no sound. But a bullet weighing 240-300ish will kill the [bleep] out of anything.

I've shot quite a few suppressed weapons and the 77/44 trumps them all. Ridiculously quiet and practical.

If I were to order one today I'd get a fast twist Douglas rather than use the factory. The factory won't spin the heavies.


Travis

I should have mentioned, if you go to "products" on his website you'll see the 77/44 build.



Travis

Wow, that's a lot of can....,



I'd like to try one on a Ruger carbine (auto), I guess the internal tube fed 44 carbine would crowd the suppressor? Would need the clip version. Who would make a fast twist Ruger carbine barrel?

Getting expensive already.


DMc

More thoughts...

I'm thinking those internal magazine 44's were blow back operated instead of gas? Sub-sonic might not cycle the action?


DMc

Auto and suppressed just makes things more complicated.

Just find a 77/44 and call SRT. Douglas makes plenty of fast twist .44 cal barrels.


Travis

Googling Suppressed 44s, by far the majority of shooters favor the 77/44. The 96/44 is awesome cool, and comes in a close 2nd, but the boat paddle stocked stainless suppressed 77/44 is hands down the (a) winner!

Sorry for throwing a rabbit trail into your thread.


DMc

I like rabbit trails.

I really would like to get one and probably will eventually. But 44's and open prairie don't exactly go hand in hand...



Travis

If possible an integrally suppressed Marlin 1894 would almost be enough to make me sell a kidney.

I'm not sure an integrally suppressed 1894 would be possible due to the magazine tube. But a 16" 1894 with a short threaded suppressor would only gain ~ 2" in length over a 20" rifle. Though most of the available 45 suppressors on a 16" barrel would approximate the length of a 24" barreled rifle.

I wouldn't spend 5 seconds of thought on that project.



Travis

If I could build a Ruger bolt action in 45 Colt, I would be all over it.

A takedown, suppressed lever action 45 Colt would be where it's at, for me. I'd want to run a Silencerco Osprey (the rectangular suppressor) so I wouldn't need higher sights.

Must try...

This sumbitch is doing alright with next to zero work.

Some pretty brutal wind out there but the 69gr Sierra is doing well enough at the 250.



And the 300+



Travis

Put the boom cap on there to see how it would do with a 70gr Hot-Cor for deer this season.


Four shots. No idea what happened with #3 but when the trigger broke I said "[bleep]." Probably just the DT's getting the best of me. Same POI as the Sierra so she's good to go...




Travis

Should have covered it with the quarter.

I thought I'd be honest being Good Friday and all.



Travis

Don't shoot the Easter Bunny with your quiet AR OK?

You'll see the candy in the Classifieds.



Travis

In that case swat him.

Travis you really should upgrade your dip from the stuff that they sweep up after canning the good dip....

Nice groups though.

THWACK!



Travis

'Flave Precision endorses Da' Bear exclusively.



Travis

So did you call to check on the status of the stamp or just get a surprise?

I'll not discuss the details on an open forum...



Travis

so PM me putz

Bit of an exposure issue on the camera today, but you get the idea...




Travis

You bloodied it!

Multiple times. Just couldn't find one next to the road...



Travis

That might be how you do it in Oregon. But out this way we have a little more sense than to drink and shoot firearms.



Travis

Such a hostile man. Smile, be happy friend.
